“To give oneself is the only way of becoming oneself”

Simplified Meaning:
When you give your time, effort, or love to help others, you discover who you truly are. Imagine a teacher who wants to inspire students; by dedicating their energy to teaching and caring for their students, they find joy and purpose in their job. This process of helping and connecting with others makes them feel more fulfilled and true to themselves. Essentially, by focusing on what they can give to others, they uncover their own strengths and passions. Someone can apply this idea by volunteering, supporting friends and family, or simply being kind, which can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. In short, through acts of giving, we learn more about ourselves and become better people.
